Hi,
I have been evaluating DNN on webmatrix and really liked it so decided to install it on a server for a school intranet system. Previously all worked ok but on the new server I am unable to install any modules and receive an error "A critical error has occurred. Unable to connect to the remote server" whenever I try.
I have set up a server with Windows server 2008 r2 and using IIS 7.5 and SQL server express it will be used for internal access only by staff and pupils in the school.
I have installed dotnetnuke 6.1.4 via manual install and also tried reinstalling via webplatform installer but both ways present same issue. The installs fine and can be used, I can manually install modules via the wizard but when I go to add from extension gallery, I can browse modules but after clicking deploy the pop up appears for a second without the circle spinning then reloads the gallery with the above error.
Examining the event viewer the details below are given...

Server Name:
I am behind a proxy for internet access but can access web fine from server and can view the module gallery from the site, I have checked the proxy and it doesn't appear to be receiving the request from the site.
As this worked previously with same user, settings but with iis express through webmatrix I assume I need to configure IIS 7.5 in some way but am lost as to where to look.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
